What are Caucuses?
Caucuses are meetings of party members to choose candidates for office (like a“town hall” meeting)
19 states use caucuses, including Iowa (the first)

Increased openness and involvement at the local level has increased their popularity

What are Primary Elections?
Since the 1900s, primary elections have generally replaced the nominating conventions because primaries were viewed as more democratic
Primary elections are similar to regular elections, but instead of picking the “winner” they only pick the party’s “competitor” for the national race
Today, primary elections are the most common way to choose party candidates

Types of Primary Elections
There are three types of primary elections:
1. Closed Primary: Primary in which only members of a party can vote
2. Open Primary: Primary in which all voters can vote, regardless of party affiliation
3. Modified Primary: Some modification on those above
***California has an “modified closed” primary on Feb. 5th that allows unaffiliated ("decline to state") voters to vote if parties agree. In CA, the Democratic Party currently allows unaffiliated voters to vote, while the Republican Party does not.
